Speed World Challenge - Update

Thursday practice lap times were low 1:39's. A change on tires and suspension settings dropped us down to 1:38.8's. Friday's qualifying put Graham Downey in 13th position for the race. We tried to keep the Twitter updates going but the race got too exciting, typing via Blackberry stopped being the priority. By the 1st lap Downey moved from 13th to 11th position. By the 3rd lap Graham moved up to 10th trailing behind the championship leader Jason Saini. A battle between the two led Graham ahead to the 8th position but unfortunatly wasn't able to hold due to some contact. Congrats to Graham Downey for receiving the Sonoco Hard Charger recognition for the most overtakes in that race!
